SPIRIT OF THE EARTH
One day, he explored the forest after a conflagration. Poppies and lupine blanketed the hillsides, and he felt a peace beyond understanding, a sense of unity underlying all of creation.
Spirit of the Earth
As he felt the tranquil spirit of the earth, a strange image arose in his imagination. Even though he felt deep peace, the Goddess, as she appeared in his mind's eye, seemed almost alien.
Rabbit near the Path
As he continued hiking, he encountered a rabbit near the path. The bunny remained completely still as he passed. He was careful not to cause the rabbit to panic.
Earth Goddess
A few moments later, in his mind's eye he had a vision of the spirit of the earth as a lovely Goddess. She no longer seemed alien to him.
Moon Goddess
The next day, he traveled to the beach. As the moon rose, he had a vision of the Moon Goddess, who showed him the symbol of the fleur de lis. He didn't understand the symbol, so he did some research and discovered that the fleur de lis bloomed from the tears of Eve as she and Adam left Eden. The pure whiteness of the flower suggested the underlying unity of existence, which, he realized, symbolizes the eventual return to Eden.
Earth Goddess near the Ocean
The next day, he explored the forest near the ocean, and again he had a vision of the Earth Goddess.
Mercury in the Library
He decided to do more research at the library. Suddenly he had a vision of the God Mercury near the bookshelves. The God's eyes gleamed, and the God seemed to say, "You can see me, my friend, because you are also connected with the Earth Goddess and the Moon Goddess and can see them with your mind's eye."
Venus in a Field
The next day he explored a field next to the ocean, and he had a vision of the Goddess Venus amongst the flowers. She seemed to say, "Because you love Gaia and feel a peace beyond understanding when you stand with the flowers or by a tree, you can also know the marriage of heaven and earth."
Sun God near a Lake
The next day, traveled to a nearby lake. In his mind's eye, he envisioned a Sun God. He wasn't sure if the Sun God was Jesus or Apollo or Dionysus. The Sun God seemed to say, "Because you love the Earth Goddess and the Moon Goddess and Mercury and Venus, you can know the brilliant light and the harmonizing love and the mysteries of sacrifice associated with The Sun, and now you can experience the justice of Mars and the magnificence of Jupiter."
Earth Goddess near a Waterfall
He continued hiking through the forest by the lake and encountered the Earth Goddess by a waterfall. As the water flowed by him, again he experienced a deep peace that transcends understanding.
Mars with a Flaming Sword
Suddenly as he was strolling along the trail, he saw the God Mars with a flaming sword, who said, "Like the Sun God, I am part of the ethical triangle of the Tree of Life. I bring harmony and balance to the world through justice."
Jupiter near a Magnificent Cathedral
He returned to the city by the sea, and as he strolled along the sidewalk, he had a vision of the God Jupiter near a magnificent cathedral. "If you know the ethical triangle, you can know the magnificence, harmony, and abundance of the human spirit," a voice said.
Saturn on a Throne next to the Ocean
The next evening by the ocean, he had a vision of the God Saturn, who seemed to say, "I am the God of primordial form. Through me you can know the meaning of the four subtle elements manifesting in harmony and balance within this world and throughout the cosmos."
Mary by the Ocean
As he continued walking by the ocean, he encountered Mother Mary, arrayed as a great queen. "When you experience the heavenly energies, you know that suffering is inevitable within manifestation, but you can also know the glory and harmony brought about through love and sacrifice," she said.
Earth Goddess by a Stream
Then he again encountered the Earth Goddess, this time by a stream. "All of the energies of the subtle dimensions manifest here in The Kingdom. Be grateful that you can experience them now in your life."
The Cosmos Shining like a Six-Rayed Star
That evening as he was meditating, he had a vision of the cosmos in the blackness of space. "All the energies of the elements and the Gods and Goddesses of the Tree of Life manifest in the cosmos, which you can see as a tiny point of light from the blackness of space, for the mind can transcend space and time."

THE THIRD CASTLE
As Nathan was hiking down a trail, he thought he saw faeries fluttering around him. "Probably just butterflies or bugs of some kind," he thought to himself.
Hermit
Nathan soon encountered a hermit crouching on the path. "Are you all right?"
"Yes, young man," the hermit responded. "I was just opening my third eye."
"What do you mean?" Nathan asked, hoping that he was not talking to some crazy old man.
"Everyone has a third eye that can see the spiritual dimensions, but almost everyone is conditioned to keep that eye closed. Most people fear that the powerful subtle forces of the spiritual dimensions will disrupt their life in some way. However, if you open your third eye now, you might see the subtle spirits here in this forest. If you see the nature spirits with your third eye, I will show you the third castle of the Tarot, which is associated with five cards: Justice, The Wheel of Fortune, The Hermit, Strength, and The Chariot," the old man stated. "As you probably know, all Tarot cards dovetail in every conceivable way with the symbolism of the mystical Tree of Life. Close your eyes now and go deep within yourself for a little while. Then we will continue together on the path."
Sylph
After awhile the old man whispered, "Open your eyes and come back to the forest. Let us continue together now on the path."
Suddenly Nathan felt a gentle breeze and noticed a faery fluttering across the path. "Did you see that?" Nathan blurted out.
"Yes, my friend, that lovely creature is an elemental of Air known as a sylph, or more commonly as a faery," the old man replied. "The great Archangel Raphael rules the element of Air, which includes the zodiac signs Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini and their ruling planets, Venus, Saturn, and Mercury respectively. Let us continue."
Gnome
Nathan and the old man continued down the path. Suddenly Nathan saw a tiny man clutching the stalk of a tiger lily. "Did you see that?" Nathan blurted out.
"Yes, my friend, that little man is an Earth elemental referred to as a gnome," the hermit replied. "The great Archangel Auriel rules the element of Earth, which includes the zodiac signs Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo and their ruling planets, Saturn, Venus, and Mercury respectively. Let us continue."
Salamander
Nathan and the old man continued again down the path. Suddenly Nathan saw a lizard of some kind on fire on the path. "Did you see that?" Nathan blurted out.
"Yes, my friend, that is a Fire elemental known as a salamander," the old man replied. "The great Archangel Michael rules the element of Fire, which includes the zodiac signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius and their ruling planets, Mars, The Sun, and Jupiter respectively. Let us continue."
Undine
Nathan and the old man continued again down the path. Suddenly Nathan saw a tiny girl swimming in the stream next to the path. "Did you see that?" Nathan blurted out.
"Yes, my friend, that is a Water elemental known as an undine," the old man replied. "The great Archangel Gabriel rules the element of Water, which includes the zodiac signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces and their ruling planets, The Moon, Mars, and Jupiter respectively. You might have realized as you encountered the elementals that the mind naturally anthropomorphizes and personifies the subtle forces manifesting in nature as people or animals."
"Yes, that thought did cross my mind," Nathan replied.
Third Tarot Castle
"You have obviously opened your third eye, my friend. Let us continue now to the third Tarot Castle," the old man urged.
Room of the Air Element
After a hike up a steep hill, Nathan and the hermit entered the castle. They wandered down a hall in the castle and the old man suddenly opened a door. "What do you see, my friend?"
"I see a small cyclone or tornado swirling around in the middle of the room."
"Yes, this is a room in the castle that contains the Air Element. The first card in the third Tarot castle is Justice, which represents Libra."
Justice: Libra
The old man held up the Tarot card. He continued, "This path on the Tree of Life connects the sixth Emanation of The Sun with the fifth Emanation of Mars, which has deep significance. After the personality has dissolved in the brilliant light of The Sun, the soul knows the divinity of the community of all life and strives for harmony and balance in the world, which is accomplished to a great extent through justice. In other words, after you have experienced the Vision of Harmony and the Mysteries of Sacrifice, the spiritual experiences of the sixth Emanation, you proceed on this path to the realm of Mars, which contains the energies of strength, courage, and discipline, qualities that enable us to establish and maintain balance in the world, often at great personal cost."
Jupiter
They continued strolling down the hall in the castle and the old man suddenly opened another door. "What do you see, my friend?"
"I see a magnificent king sitting on a golden throne."
"Yes, you are seeing the God Jupiter. The second card in the third Tarot castle is The Wheel of Fortune, which represents Jupiter."
Wheel of Fortune: Jupiter
The hermit continued, "When you reach the third castle on the Tree of Life, you know that the gold of the spirit, represented by the golden symbols of the elements, the eagle, the bull, the lion, and the man, manifest harmoniously in nature even as the wheel of fortune keeps turning and change constantly occurs. You become like a magnificent pharaoh who embodies the four elements, as well as the golden element of Spirit. Like Jupiter, the King of the Gods, in other words, you manifest the magnificence, harmony, and abundance of the spirit. Let us continue."
Gnome in the Castle Room of Earth
They continued strolling down the hall in the castle and the old man suddenly opened another door. "What do you see, my friend?"
"I see a small gnome in the castle room."
"Yes, you are seeing another gnome. The third card in the third Tarot castle is The Hermit, which represents Virgo."
The Hermit: Virgo
The old man held up the Tarot card. "Notice that the path of The Hermit is illuminated by the hexagram, also known as the Star of David, in the lantern," he said. "The hexagram represents the unity of the four elements and the subtle energies of the twelve zodiac signs and their ruling planets, in other words, all the paths of the Tree of Life. This path connects the Emanation of The Sun with the fourth Emanation of Jupiter. The Hermit has attained a great height because he has experienced the dimensions of Universal Consciousness after experiencing the brilliant light of The Sun. Let us continue."
Lion in the Castle Room of Fire
They continued strolling down the hall in the castle and the old man suddenly opened another door. "What do you see, my friend?"
"I see a lion near a fire in the middle of the room."
"Yes, you are seeing a lion that represents Leo, which is associated with the element of Fire."
Strength: Leo
The old man held up the Tarot card known as Strength. "Notice that the woman in the card is taming the lion through gentleness," he said. "She is creating balance on a path between two of the most dynamic Emanations of the Tree of Life, the Emanation of Jupiter, which is often associated with powerful creative force, and the Emanation of Mars, which is often associated with powerful destructive force. Some might imagine that these forces remain in eternal conflict with each other, but Jupiter contains the forces that inspire the creation of organized and ethical societies, and Mars contains and limits the forces that create an internal and external lack of harmony and balance. This path reveals the harmony of these two forces in eternal balance. Let us continue."
Water Creature in the Castle Room of Water
They continued strolling down the hall in the castle and the old man suddenly opened another door. "What do you see, my friend?"
"I see a strange water creature floating in the middle of the room."
"Yes, you are seeing a water creature that represents Cancer, which is associated with the element of Cancer."
The Chariot: Cancer
The old man held up the Tarot card known as The Chariot. "This card represents a path on the Tree of Life that crosses the Abyss between the planes of manifestation and the subtle heavenly energies," he said. "The knight in the card is either ascending to experience the highest subtle energies of Universal Consciousness or descending to experience the planes of manifestation, which are, of course, also dimensions of Universal Consciousness. The mind, on a quest on the paths of the Tree of Life, can transcend space and time and experience the most profound spiritual energies that we can know." The old man paused and smiled.
"Thank you so much for your tour of the third castle," Nathan said.
"You are welcome, my friend," the hermit replied. "Enjoy your path on the way home."
Continue with Nathan on his journey.

THE SECOND CASTLE
Nathan felt like having some yogurt with nuts and chocolate on top. When Nathan entered the yogurt shop down the street, he strolled by an old man sitting at a table.
The old man looked up and whispered, "Spirituality is not always sweetness and light, my friend, not always like yogurt with tasty toppings."
"What?" Nathan muttered.
"My name is Virgil. I guide Yogurt lovers through the second Tarot castle," the old man replied.
"Great! So where is this castle? I don't see any castle," Nathan blurted out.
"It's on the other side of that door," the old man replied, pointing to the door to the back room. "You're kidding, right?" Nathan laughed.
"Follow me and find out," the old man smiled.
Inside the Castle
Nathan often wondered what the back rooms of small shops looked like, and the old man seemed harmless enough. "Okay," he mumbled sheepishly. "You're not going to rob me, are you?" To Nathan's great surprise, when they passed through the door, they entered the hall of what appeared to be a great castle.
"Are you familiar at all with the Tarot, my friend?" Virgil asked.
"Yeah, a bit," Nathan responded.
"The second castle of the Tarot is associated with five cards: The Tower, The Devil, Temperance, Death, and The Hanged Man," Virgil stated. "All Tarot cards are associated with the Tree of Life, as you probably know, but I must warn you: this is a dark castle, my friend. Most people are not adequately prepared for what they encounter here."
Lightning in the Room
The old man suddenly opened a door. Lightning exploded inside of the room. "The first card associated with the second castle is 'The Tower,' which reveals lightning striking the top of a tower, a sudden, great disruption."
The Tower
Virgil continued, "Most people try to avoid thinking about unexpected disruptions," Virgil stated. "Nevertheless, we experience illness, accidents, the death of loved ones, family problems, the loss of friends, work problems, natural disasters, political catastrophes, environmental crises, and many other kinds of disorder and upheaval. Often, though, because of these disruptions, we are motivated to examine our lives and find the strength, discipline, and courage to deal with negative circumstances. Mars, who is associated with the fifth Emanation on the Tree of Life known as 'Power,' is associated with this card for a very good reason. Mars concentrates his power through great courage, strength, and discipline to bring justice and harmony to the world. If ever you need that kind of power, you can invoke Mars. This castle may seem dark, but it also reveals how to push through the darkness. Let's continue to the next room."
"Okay, I think," Nathan muttered.
Demon
"You might want to summon your courage," Virgil advised as he opened the next door.
When Nathan peered into the room, he saw a demon sitting on a bed. "Yikes!" he blurted out.
The Devil: Capricorn
"The Devil is perhaps the most difficult Tarot card to understand," Virgil mumbled. "Many life forces are out of the control of human beings. Hurricanes and tornadoes and tidal waves and earthquakes are powerful destructive forces. Many animals are larger and stronger and more ferocious than humans. People sometimes experience powerful urges that are occasionally difficult to control. It is easy to blame whatever happens that is out of our control on an archetype of evil such as the devil. The Tarot card known as 'The Devil,' on the other hand, symbolizes Capricorn, a zodiac sign which is associated with creativity and confidence and potency. Many dimensions of Universal Consciousness are mysterious and way beyond our comprehension, at least at first. Some forces in the subtle dimensions seem extremely powerful and quite malicious. When you journey into the spiritual dimensions, you even find some forces that seem only to want to cause harm and chaos and disorder. The great difficulty for those who experience the dimensions of Universal Consciousness is the challenge of learning how to neutralize dark forces to create and maintain balance. If you are a traveler on spiritual paths, you need to learn how to maintain order within yourself and find allies in the spiritual dimensions who help you to neutralize negative forces and maintain harmony. A spirit guide, a guardian angel, a saint, a savior figure, or powerful allies such as Archangels and Gods and Goddesses, for instance. Notice that the Devil in the Tarot card holds up his right hand in blessing, for the path of Capricorn leads to The Sun, the Emanation of harmonizing love and sacrifice known as Beauty, the center of equilibrium on the Tree of Life."
Archangel Michael
They moved to the next portal. Virgil opened the door, and Nathan could see inside a great Archangel. Virgil continued: "This is the Archangel Michael, 'Like unto God.' As the ruler of the element of Fire, he can cleanse the psyche and burn away negative forces and bring harmony back into your world, often quite quickly."
Temperance: Sagittarius
Virgil held up the Tarot card known as Temperance. Then he continued, "Michael represents the path of the arrow, the middle path of ascension to The Sun, the Emanation of Beauty. Michael is a great ally, as are all of the Archangels, especially the other Archangels who manifest their subtle elements in our plane: Raphael, Gabriel, and Auriel. The key, as always, is balance. These great spiritual beings will work with you if you are willing to sacrifice for a greater good and are sincerely striving to create harmony and balance in your world."
Death in Castle Room
They moved to the next room in the castle. Nathan could see the figure of death inside the room when Virgil opened the door.
Death: Scorpio
Virgil continued, "This is another extremely challenging path that also leads to the Emanation of Beauty, the sphere of the Sun and the cosmic Christ, the center of equilibrium on the Tree of Life. This is a path of great transformation that leads to rebirth. You cannot see from the perspective of eternity and experience the holiness of all energy and the divinity of the community of all life unless you dissolve in the light and experience the psychic death of the personality. You cannot truly follow the new commandment, 'Love one another,' unless you experience this rebirth."
Water in the Castle Room
Virgil opened the next door. The room inside was filling with water.
The Hanged Man: Water
Virgil continued, "This too is a difficult card. 'The Hanged Man' represents the element of Water, which is associated with The Moon and the subconscious mind. This card was once called 'The Traitor' because a person who experiences the rebirth that leads to the Emanation of The Sun no longer manifests herd mentality. He or she can suspend consciousness in deep meditation or ritual and experience the dimensions of Universal Consciousness. Remember that the High Priestess, who represents The Moon, knows all the paths of the Tree of Life and brings her knowledge of the subtle dimensions into this world. 'The Hanged Man' makes his sacrifice to know the depths of the psyche and the powerful subtle dimensions of Universal Consciousness."
Strolling Back to the Yogurt Shop
"Thank you for your tour of the second castle," Nathan said.
"Time for some yogurt. What kinds of toppings are you going to order?" Virgil asked.
"I was thinking of nuts and chocolate, but now I might add one or two more," Nathan smiled.

THE TEMPLE OF TRANSFORMATION
As Nathan was hiking through the forest, he envisioned a golden equal-armed cross on top of a golden pyramid. The vision remained in his mind's eye for at least an hour. He was a little confused at first, but then he remembered that the golden balanced cross symbolizes the subtle spiritual elements in harmony with each other as the elements manifest in matter. As he strolled through the forest, in other words, he was experiencing the harmony of spirit manifesting in nature.
Temple in Forest
Suddenly Nathan came upon a golden temple in the forest. Steps led up to a glowing portal in the pyramid.
Guardian Angel
After Nathan entered the portal, he immediately encountered his Holy Guardian Angel. Space and time seemed to expand all around him.
"Do you know my name?" his Guardian Angel asked.
"You are Atriel."
"Do you know what my name means?" Atriel asked.
"In Hebrew, the first letter 'Aleph' means 'ox,' which symbolizes the power and potency of the spiritual forces manifesting in nature. The second letter 'Tau' means 'cross' and it symbolizes not only the unfolded cube of space and time but the solidification of the four elements into Earth and the sacrifice necessary to maintain harmony in the physical plane. 'Resh' is the solar letter pertaining to the energies of The Sun and the Emanation of Beauty in the head, in other words in human consciousness. 'Yod' means 'hand' and symbolizes creative and directive energy as well as the means of action. The 'EL' at the end of your name of course means 'God."
"Very well. Let us proceed," the Guardian Angel stated. "You are here today to review some of your most significant experiences of transformation."
Archangel Raphael
Atriel continued, "Do you remember the first time you invoked the Archangel Raphael?"
"Of course," Nathan replied. "I became immersed in a thought bubble of such astounding complexity, and I experienced such a profound sense of eternity, that I realized that some spiritual beings, like the Archangels and the Gods and Goddesses associated with the Tree of Life, make human beings seem like amoebas in comparison. Raphael, the 'Healer of God' associated with The Sun, has healed me and those close to me many times."
Archangel Michael
"And Michael?" Atriel asked.
"Michael is a great power of harmony who rules the Element of Fire," Nathan responded. "The Element of Fire burns away what no longer serves us and purifies the heart and mind so that we can experience the dimensions of Universal Consciousness."
Archangel Gabriel
"And Gabriel?" Atriel asked.
"Gabriel rules the Element of Water and blesses us by cleansing and purifying the dark recesses of the heart and mind. Gabriel eliminates the negativity in the subconscious mind so that the emotions remain pure and we can touch the dimensions of Universal Consciousness."
Archangel Auriel
"Auriel?" Atriel asked.
"Auriel rules the Element of Earth. Through Auriel, we purify the foundational energies of the body so that we eliminate the negative energies that cause disease and disruption. Without physical health, we cannot have emotional and mental health or touch the dimensions of Universal Consciousness."
Gaia: Mother Earth
"Do you remember your transformative experiences with Mother Earth?" Atriel asked.
"I have experienced absolute bliss many times in nature just by hiking through a forest or sitting on a rock next to a stream. But I also know that through sacrifice we can work with the spirit of the earth and the Archangels to heal ourselves and humanity and the planet," Nathan responded.
Thoth
"Do you remember your transformative experiences with Thoth?" Atriel asked.
"I have envisioned many transformative spiritual symbols during meditation and ritual. Thoth is the Egyptian God of magic, writing, communication, arithmetic, medicine, and reckoning. As a Moon God, Thoth is associated with the Holy Ghost, and his transformative magic reveals spiritual principle through profound symbols that can be found in the Tarot and the glyph of the Tree of Life. Through these symbols, we rise to higher awareness and touch the dimensions of Universal Consciousness."
Moon Goddess
"What about Moon Goddesses?" Atriel asked.
"Like Thoth, Moon Goddesses should also be revered as manifestations of the Holy Ghost. Because the ninth Emanation, known as The Foundation, is a sphere of form, we can peer into that dimension and see the spiritual symbols and archetypes that guide us on the paths of the Tree of Life."
The Magician: Mercury
"You have learned much. I will now stop bothering and let you talk about your transformative experiences," Atriel stated.
"Thank you. When I first began meditating, I purified my chakras, and after I purified my third-eye chakra, I began having visions of spiritual symbols, one of which was a gray infinity symbol, which I had never seen before," Nathan replied. "A few days later in a bookstore, I was drawn to a deck of Tarot cards. I purchased the deck, and after I opened it, I immediately found the figure of a magician with a gray infinity symbol hovering above his head. The Magician in the Tarot is associated with Mercury and the Eighth Emanation on the Tree of Life known as Splendor. Through the Tarot, I began my journey on the paths of the Tree of Life, which has utterly transformed my life for the better."
Hathor
"Hathor is the Egyptian Goddess associated with the seventh Emanation of the Tree of Life. On a higher arc, Hathor is the celestial Goddess known as Isis. In the seventh Emanation of Victory, Hathor holds up a prism to the sun so that we experience the rainbow colors of spirit manifesting in nature," Nathan stated.
Venus
"Venus is the Roman version of Hathor. Through Hathor and Venus, we experience the rainbow colors of love and beauty and harmony."
Osiris
Nathan continued, "All Gods of the Tree of Life bring transformative energies into our realm. Osiris is an Egyptian sacrificial God associated with the sixth Emanation of the Tree of Life known as Beauty. Through sacrifice, we can know beauty and harmonizing love."
Jesus
"Jesus is the savior who brought a new commandment to humanity: 'Love one another.' He also said 'Love your neighbor as yourself' and 'Love your enemy' and 'treat others the way you want to be treated.' He emphasized love and through his great compassion sacrificed his own life to neutralize dark forces and negativity in the world. Jesus, like Osiris, is also associated with the sphere of The Sun, the Emanation of Beauty," Nathan continued.
Horus
"Osiris, before he became the God of the Spirit World, was an Egyptian Pharaoh married to Isis. To usurp the Egyptian throne, Seth murdered and mutilated Osiris, his brother. Isis collected the parts of the body of Osiris, and with the aid of Thoth, Nephthys, and Anubis, Isis resurrected him. After the resurrection, Isis and Osiris conceived their son Horus, who went on to fight for justice and harmony in the realm," Nathan said.
Mars
Nathan continued, "Mars, the Roman version of Horus, is also associated with the fifth Emanation of the Tree of Life known as 'Power.' Mars is a God of War who establishes and maintains harmony through justice. Mars is always on the side of the underdog who is fighting for a righteous cause."
Zeus
"Each culture represents the same subtle transformative forces in different ways. The Greek God Zeus represents the fourth Emanation of the Tree of Life known as Mercy or 'Glory.' Zeus is the chief God in ancient Greek mythology and the ruler of the Olympian gods. He is the god of the sky, thunder, law, and order, and represents the great upbuilding forces of civilization that have transformed humanity," Nathan continued.
Jupiter
"Like Zeus, the Roman God Jupiter could shape the course of events on earth and determine the destiny of humanity," Nathan said. "Both of them reveal the magnificence, harmony, and abundance of the human spirit and the energies of the fourth Emanation of the Tree of Life."
Mother Mary
Nathan continued, "Like Isis, Mother Mary experienced many sorrows. As a virgin, Mary conceived her son Jesus. Both Isis and Mother Mary are associated with the third Emanation of the Tree of Life known as 'Understanding, which is in the heavenly realm above the planes of manifestation.'
Saturn
"Saturn, a God of the Harvest, is also associated with the third Emanation. Saturn, the Father of the Gods, created primordial form. All form dissolves, so the plane of form contains much sorrow, yet Saturn, through the discipline of the plane of form, can bring great transformation and enlightenment. In our physical state, we can experience the dimensions of Universal Consciousness, especially now in the Age of Aquarius."
"Very good," Atriel said. "Remember these experiences as you continue to build your inner temple."
